Chapter 299 The Demon Body of the Rotten Man

In a sense, the rotten man was right in saying at least one sentence.

That is the He who is now, the same as when he just completed the ascension ceremony...even when he was a teenager, there is no change.

It can also be said that He has not made any progress—he has entered "eternity".

He is still the boy whose life was cut off because of cheating when he gambled with the "White Robe King";

He was still the boy who had hidden his killing intent for several years and murdered the "White Robe King" in the toilet;

He is still the great eunuch who killed almost all the heirs of the White Robe King, helped the "Calamus King" win the throne, and secretly controlled the state affairs... When he was executed by that good old man who was furious for the first time in his life, he had nothing. the Avengers.

Even after sublimating into a god, Artabanus still harbored hatred for the "king".

That's why the rotting man would carry out that bizarre and difficult sublimation ceremony... Although he has the chance to become a god, his life status is completely higher than that of ordinary people, but he still can't let go of that hatred in his heart.

Most of his desire to step into the golden rank is "hatred" itself.

Because the sublimation ceremony itself is to rely on the eternal desire to climb, to survive the nothingness of walking alone on the way of sublimation. And after reaching the light realm and immersing in the spring of the light realm, let go of this fulfilled desire.

The rotten man completed the first half by relying on his own obsession.

But He still “couldn’t let it go”.

Because of this, He was still one step short of becoming a real God.

——From any point of view, Altabanus has completed his revenge.

The White Robe King was murdered by him, and all the descendants of the White Robe King—the thirteen brothers, six older sisters, and two younger sisters of the Calamus King—were killed by him in turn. Even King Calamus died in his sublimation ceremony in the end, and the Gupta Dynasty also fell.

But even so, Artabanus still couldn't let go of this hatred, this shame, and this past pain.

Even the root of all this comes from his "cheating".

But now that he has become a god for many years, he still cannot forget his past. Because of this, the former Black Annan was able to arrange a conspiracy to lure the rotten man out through "gambling and fighting".

Afterwards, Bai Annan also took into account the character flaws of the rotten man, and defeated him in the nightmare. Even if the rotten man came in person and took the absolute initiative, he was still easily defeated by Annan.

And now...

Because "defeated in the hands of mortals as a god", the existence of Annan added a new shame to the rotten man.

In order to obliterate Annan...or in other words, to prevent Annan from finding himself in the future, the rotten man even went so far as to be a dog to the worm.

Thus, the rotten husband has a new "Your Majesty".

But... what the worms are using now is the image of Black Annan.

In other words, in order to make up for the shame of being calculated by Black Annan, the rotting man defected to a worm that is essentially no different from Black Annan...

"It's really the same as always bearing the humiliation, the same as always... and the same as always refusing to admit his mistakes."

Annan's voice fell, and the fire that bloomed in front of him happened to dissipate: "Are you going to do another backstab, Artabanus?"

Facing the rotten man who was facing him, he raised the scepter in his hand without fear or hesitation, and walked forward.

Not only did he not keep his distance, but he started to approach the rotten man instead.

Annan's feet flowed with light, and a rainbow-colored phantom gradually condensed behind him.

And the rotten man was not surprised at all.

"I've been waiting for this moment for a long time."

The rotten husband said frankly.

He no longer used that feminine tone and said yin and yang strange words.

Instead, it finally became serious.

Like a boy whose voice has not yet changed, he makes a voice that a normal person can say.

"I am indeed a mean, narrow-minded and vengeful person. But I have sworn that I will never be afraid again. No matter what the ending is, I am already prepared."

When Artabanus used to gamble with the White Robe King, it was the first time in his life that he failed... It was also the first time he cheated in order to escape from failure.

But because the fear was too strong, Artabanus' cheating undoubtedly failed. He was pressed on the table by the guards on the spot, directly sentenced to lose, and stabbed the engravings belonging to the slaves.

And the whisper of the White Robe King at that time, he still can't forget it.

"—not all gamers fail, just as not all who are born perish. But even so, the victors are as rare as the immortals...for no one can be omnipotent.

"—You are very smart, but that's all. Smartness alone cannot become a constant victor... Wisdom without courage is like a bird without wings and a fire that has lost its temperature."

Since then, Artabanus occasionally replays the game in his mind when he cannot sleep late at night.

He thought, was he really doomed to lose at that time?

Or, because the rhythm was controlled by others, and he lost his composure... that's why he retreated steadily?

— Undoubtedly, the latter.

Because of fear, he ruined the victory; and because of fear, he even failed to cheat.

After that, Artabanus vowed to gain "courage".

He wants to regain the bird's wings and the warmth of the fire.

He wants to fly high into the sky and regain freedom... He wants people to feel the burning of this flame. Let all those who point their fingers at themselves cry out in pain because of the hellish heat.

In the Gupta dynasty of slavery, he was able to assassinate the king, murder the heir, usurp the kingship, and murder the people with the body of a slave. No matter which crime it is, a death sentence alone can be regarded as an extrajudicial favor.

If he is really a coward, it is impossible for him to have the courage to commit such a heinous crime repeatedly.

——However, does "not being timid" really mean having "courage"?

"It's just that hatred and evil thoughts have blinded your heart, making you lose the guidance of the eye of wisdom. But you think that you can look directly at that fear."

Annan sighed, and continued to approach the rotting man: "Sure enough. You haven't changed until the end. You are still at the beginning of your life... You are still on the day that made you despair, Artabanus."

"Even this time I start with a Jack."

The rotten man whispered, his pace still not slowing down at all: "But this time - I will never lose the courage to draw cards again."

When the distance between the two was only five steps away.

Annan and the rotten husband raised their right hands at the same time.

Behind Annan, the Rainbow Valkyrie reappeared, fully synchronized with Annan, raising the lightsaber transformed from his right arm.

At this moment, the rotting man's right arm was cracked inch by inch.

The skin cracked like a plaster cast, emitting a clear white light.

That is the light of truth.

The moon-white radiant body emerged from his peeling skin——
